You may have been born. You may no longer be particles in space. I may now be sending all my loving to a real girl. You and your mama are now in a world of pain. Because of that it is hard to celebrate that you are out in this big bad world. Hopefully you are not alone. I hope some one is cradling you, and whispering sweet nothings in your ear. I hope you are warm.
Next year we will celebrate. Next year will be so different than this year. 2011 will not be kind to you, but we are all commited to making every other year work twice as hard to make it up for this one year. This one year that really was not fair to you. This one year that made every day a struggle for survival. This one year that will change everything you are and would be. This year that will never stop testing your resiliency.
Hang on my little one. We are going to find one another, we are going to get through this together. Forever.

About Me

Sylvia Eng
Hi I am Sylvia!
I was inspired to learn the art photography when I adopted my second child. She has albinism and is very photo-phobic. My point and shoot flash was hurting her eyes and I was missing out on precious memories because I needed specialized skills and equipment to capture her in photos. Because of her my style has developed to photograph completely flash free. My children were my inspiration to learn this craft so I named my business after them (Squeaker and Yoyo are their nicknames).
Although this is a newer artistic medium for me, I have studied visual arts my whole life and graduated with a degree in digital media. Before that I was a fashion model, so images and photography have always been a passion of mine.
I know what it is like to be on both sides of the lens. My goal as your photographer is to use my experience as a model to coach you though the shoot to ensure you look your very best. I consider the style I provide to be an art form, taking your image and adding a touch of digital magic. Sprinkling your images with creativity, imagination and just a tiny bit of faerie dust. The result is always a relaxed and beautiful experience.
I photograph in the greater Toronto area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Milton, Oakville, Orangeville, Acton, Georgetown and Caledon. I look forward to working with you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
